You know the stories. You’ve read the fairy tales. They all begin with “Once Upon a Time” and end with “Happily Ever After” and there’s a whole lot about Daring Quests and Magic Spells and True Love in between. They all say that princesses are pretty and delicate, donkeys don’t talk, and ogres are certainly, absolutely, never the hero. But maybe, just maybe, the stories might be wrong. 

Join Lexington Children’s Theatre for this wacky musical celebration of friendship, fairy tales, and the things that make us special. Shrek The Musical opens July 21 and our story won’t be complete without YOU in the audience! So, get ready to laugh your gumdrop buttons off and expect the unexpected, because THIS is a fairy tale like you’ve never seen before.
